OUTLINE
Introduction Overview Design Progress Justification & Feasibility Questions
INTRODUCTION
What are we doing here? We’re creating a musical application of wireless
sensor networks (WSN) using algorithmic composition
Project inspiration Ballblazer Klossen Dancing Robots Sun SPOTs
INTRODUCTION
Research Highlights Wireless Sensor Networks
Capabilities Applications
